vrb_resize
changes the size of a virtual ring buffer if the data in the
source buffer will fit in the requested space.
ARGUMENTS
vrb_p vrb
specifies the ring buffer which will be resized.
size_t size
specifies the requested minimum buffer size to be allocated.
The given value will be rounded up to the nearest or equal whole
multiple of the system page size.
The virtual ring buffer is implemented by mapping two adjacent
blocks of memory to the same memory object.
Thus, twice as much virtual address space will be used and the
specified size must be less than half of the available virtual
address space for this process.
const char *name
specifies an optional name of a file to be used as backing store via
mmap(2)
in a mounted filesystem in which the process has write permission.
If the named file cannot be opened for write, an error will occur.
If
NULL
is given, swap space will be used as backing store via
shmat(2).
RETURN VALUE
int
On success, 0 is returned.
Otherwise, -1 is returned.
ERRORS
If an error is returned, then
errno
will have one of the following values:
ENOSPC
The data in the current virtual ring buffer will not fit into the
requested space.
EINVAL
A buffer size was requested which is too large for address space
allocation arithmetic.
ENOMEM
Out of memory allocating the virtual ring buffer structure.
